7/6/2012 (Courtesy TheBoot.com) — Kix Brooks is celebrating his first solo album in more than 20 years. The former half of legendary duo Brooks & Dunn will release New to This Town on September 11.

“I’m excited to get it out there,” Kix tells The Boot. “It’s been a real challenge because you want to do something that is fun, exciting and different. For a creative person, that’s the kind of challenge you are always looking for. From that standpoint, this has been a great endeavor and I’ve really enjoyed the creative process.”

Kix, who is nominated for the 2012 class of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, co-wrote nine of the album’s 12 tracks. “I made an album that really is close to my heart,” he shares. “The music is kind of fun and games … thinking about getting back in a lot of those clubs and festivals and getting to play again. People come to enjoy themselves, and this album in a lot of ways is about that.”
